Lets's calculate LCM of 785,3196
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2508860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2508860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7508/785,2372/3196 is 4/2508860
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 785,3196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(785,3196) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(785,3196) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(785,3196) = ( 785 × 3196 ) / 1
LCM(785,3196) = 2508860 / 1
LCM(785,3196) = 2508860
